reports ASUS is about to launch its first SSD, the Hyper Express. These storage solutions will let you enjoy SATA Express speeds right now by using two disks in RAID 0 mode. Legit Reviews tested a sample with two Kingston 120GB SATA 6Gbps mSATA drives and achieved read speeds of up to 704.2MB/s and write speeds of up to 746.7MB/s.
You have two 2.5? SATA Express external enclosures that house either two mSATA or m.2 SSDs and a larger 3.5? version that houses two SATA 2.5? notebook hard drives or SSDs. While the form factor differs, all are setup in a RAID 0 array with an internal RAID controller and then connected to the SATA Express interface that plugs directly into motherboards featuring SATA Express support. ASUS likely won’t be selling a complete drive (enclosure and SSDs) in the United States and instead just be offering the empty enclosure with the RAID controller setup and support CD.
